St Thomas Church (previously St Thomas & St Clement Church) is a disused Church of England parish church in Winchester.
An earlier St Thomas Church (which itself replaced a church dedicated to St Petroc which fell into decay in the 14th century following the Black Death) was in St Thomas Street. It was demolished in 1845 and replaced by the present church, about 100m away in Southgate Street. The new church joined the parishes of St Thomas and St Clement and contained around 2,500 souls. The new church was consecrated on 16 April 1847 by the Bishop of Winchester.
This church closed in 1969 and for a while housed the Hampshire Record Office. At that time it was listed Grade II and remains on the statutory List of Buildings of Special Architectural or Historic Interest with the name of Hampshire Record Office. The Record Office moved to a new building and the church, called the St Thomas Centre, was used as charity offices until about 2010. It is now in the process of being converted into housing, with nine flats and properties being created inside the building.
